Cholo (English spelling)

Japanese: チョロ（英語表記）Cholo

A Spanish word meaning "enlightened Indian." It mainly refers to people in Peru who are of mixed race between whites and indigenous Indians. It is roughly synonymous with mestizo. In rural areas, they generally work as carpenters, peddlers, or candy stores, and are economically better off than ordinary Indians. They speak some Spanish, and belong to the educated class in rural areas. They are sometimes considered to be a transitional group from Indians to mestizos, which is important in the study of South American society.

「開化したインディオ」という意味のスペイン語。主としてペルーで白人と先住民族インディオの混血をさしていう。メスティーソとほぼ同義。農村では一般に大工，行商，駄菓子店などを営み，一般のインディオよりも経済的に裕福である。ある程度スペイン語を話し，農村では知識階級に属する。インディオからメスティーソへの移行型と位置づけられることもあり，南米の社会を研究するうえで重要な意味をもつ。
